Are We in a Religious War?

For over four decades, Crisis Magazine has provided thoughtful Catholic commentary on the issues shaping our world. That same spirit of deep engagement continues in the Crisis Point podcast. Hosted by editor-in-chief Eric Sammons, each conversation moves beyond surface-level debates to explore where faith meaningfully intersects with modern culture, creative expression, and public life. You’ll hear from a range of thoughtful Catholic voices-writers, artists, theologians, and practitioners-who offer nuanced perspectives on the challenges and questions of our time. This isn’t about delivering easy answers, but rather fostering a space for substantive discussion that takes the Catholic intellectual and spiritual tradition seriously. The dialogue here often touches on the arts, examining how beauty and creativity inform a life of faith, while also delving into matters of personal spirituality and religious practice. Tune in for a podcast that serves as a genuine point of connection and reflection, grounded in a legacy of faithful commentary. It’s where timely concerns meet timeless truth, offering listeners a chance to pause and consider the deeper currents moving beneath today’s headlines.
